A new advisory from the Texas secretary of state's office has closed what critics say was a critical loophole that would have potentially allowed non-citizens to vote.
A dozen House Republicans, led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), argued to an appellate court that the House's pandemic-era proxy voting rules were unconstitutional.
Early voting in the Nov. 5 general election starts this month. In 1987, Texas became the first state to allow early voting, increasing the opportunity to cast an in-person ballot before election day.
